David Rawitz

• Established daily science curriculum by customizing an infrastructure on how to execute units effectively for 4th, 5th, and 7th grade students in the local, underserved communities, and ran math lab program for students
• Directed exposure to real-world concepts i.e
• Investigating nature by collecting samples and observing the biology under the microscope
• Introduced RoboGALS workshop to the school, where students constructed and programmed robots
• Created and delivered hybrid online content during covid for virtual learning
• Managed student data and identified issues around how curricula needed to be customized for underserved communities through parent/teacher conferences and parenting surveys
• Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to institute behavioral interventions to support the school’s holistic approach to learning by sharing techniques and technology for instruction while customizing for different learning styles.

• Created two wetland ecology programs for elementary and middle school students
• Lead teacher for one-week summer science camps, “Salt Marsh Detectives” for ages 5-8; and ages 9-12.

• Tutored science and math at early-intervention college prep organization helping urban youth from at-risk communities.

• Investigated the impacts of the comb jellyfish on zooplankton community dynamics in the Long Island Sound
• Managed multiple data streams and measured gelatinous zooplankton populations in order to compare abundances in different areas of the Sound and analyzed elemental composition and nutrient release
• Discovered that the seasonal impact is negligible to the Long Island Sound ecological community, using statistical analyses

• Managed Submarine Paleoseismology Laboratory operations and supervised undergraduates and technicians
• Utilized graphing software, Excel and Kaleidagraph, and state-of-the-art paleoseismology to analyze data provided by sediment cores to locate historical earthquakes and to forecast future earthquake activity
• Discovered predictable patterns in nutrients and earthquake history appreciable to resource distribution for residents of East Thrace.
